Tell him he's not running for anything. He's still campaigning.

A 5% point decline is record breaking... yeah.

No big deal. Many of the recent presidents never stayed at 60+%. You act like he sunk to erm....28%. Once the newness wears off and the warm and fuzzy wears off, the numbers reflect the normal. 50 percent of America did not vote for him, so this sounds about right.

The Nixon data is interesting since Obama seems to have found one of Tricky Dick's old play books in a desk drawer.

Those polls change week to week depending on what's going on. I don't put much in them.
Obama got elected..that's what counts. He is the President.

The polls may mean a bit more towards 2012 but for now they mean squat.

Truth be told, in these crazy times, ANYONE who is President would see this poll drop, the only difference might be that who is doing the disapproving. Hillary, McCain, and Dubya would've all had the same phenomenon. We are so polarized a nation nowadays that it is impossible to be President and universally popular at the same time.

Compare last year to the 1992 election and now to early 1994, and you'll see a lot of similarities. But look at what happened to Clinton by 1996. It's just as much premature to say Obama's poll numbers have meaning as it was to give him that Nobel Peace Prize......

Don't forget that the country was never this bitter and divided and second of all, bear in the mind the economic burdens we are facing.
